Pelican Island Land Bridge Proposal Resurfaces
A proposal is circulating among business and port leaders to build a land bridge connecting Pelican Island to the mainland, as an alternative to the state's replacement plan for the aging Pelican Island Bridge.
The current replacement plan is estimated to cost around $254 million, but some leaders argue it may not be the most cost-effective solution.
- The Pelican Island Bridge, built in the 1960s, is considered obsolete and becoming dangerous.
- It is the only road link between Galveston Island and Pelican Island, which is home to shipyards, terminals, and other industrial operations.
- These operations generate millions of dollars in economic activity each year.
No official statement has been made, but the proposal is being discussed among industrial and economic leaders.
Author's summary: Pelican Island bridge replacement plan faces alternative land bridge proposal.
